If this is going to factor into my reasoning about the topic at hand, it will surely be a secondary or tertiary consideration at best. Same goes for much of the list in the root comment. We are discussing the…
Did the economists’ analysis consider variables like AI-spurred layoffs / job displacement also influencing the metrics being considered? I suppose it would be very hard to do as it’s unclear what subset of layoffs were…
That is pretty great.
Context matters. Without it, very foolish things can be said.
It makes you okay with golfing, or not care enough about the impacts and implications of golfing to form an opinion. It's like they say: if there is a golfer at a table and 10 other people talking with him, you have 11…
